It annoys me that people extend the benefit of the doubt to AoC to such an extent that they're happy for him to have redefined meanings for words. Meanings which aren't specified anywhere, they just assume he has done that.
The discussion with [Bad username or site: hmm_tea' / @ livejournal.com] is unproductive because he thinks that is an OK thing to do. Which is what his latest comments says, that it is ok to redefine scientific terms and then talk about how bad the thing is (after you've changed the meaning of the word).
I want people to take the AoC's statements at face value rather than play games with the words.
